We're the Only Ones Immune Enough

The AG's argument: "In addition, a state employee, like officer Wiegand, is similarly immune from such claims." [More]

Really?

Iowa "Only Ones" can assault citizens with impunity and immunity?

I wonder when someone is going to give their immune system a real test?

I'm the "Only One" Well Respected Enough

We as a country have to work to control the output, availability, possession and use of firearms by changing laws, amending the constitution which gave these rights hundreds of years ago when they were not't [sic] faced with the problems we are today which are escalating on a daily basis. [More]

"The constitution which gave"...? Of course rights come from the state! Why, who doesn't know that?

Besides, we don't want to eliminate guns. We just want to control their availability and possession. Meaning they're available and possessed by "Only Ones"-- like me!

And just so you understand what he really means when he says "control":

If guns were not accessible, people Wouldn't be getting shot.......right!? It's guns that are in the hands of people. It's people that pull the trigger with the intent to cause bodily harm or death. Take guns OUT of the equation and the rest is obvious....

We have our share of anti-gun zealots over at Examiner.com. Typically, I don't link to them, because why drive traffic their way and reward them for their dangerous foolishness?

But this guy deserves special pointing out. Why? Per his bio:

Mark has been a police officer and investigator for 30 years. His experience, skills and training have made him well respected in his field.

Which probably explains why he considers the Supreme Court decision that police are required to advise suspects of their rights against self-incrimination "infamous." What a hassle. But there are ways around that...

Understand we write out own bio statements. So the assessment "well respected" is his opinion of how he is perceived. (Why do I suddenly hear The Kinks?)

I don't respect you, pally. I find your attitudes ignorant, elitist and despicable. I don't think you're fit to be in the same country with these guys.

We're the Only Ones Conjugal Enough

The men allegedly allowed an inmate -- who is a murder suspect -- to have an unauthorized conjugal visit, according to a news report. Days after the visit in Evangeline Parish, the inmate escaped Avoyelles Parish custody, although he has been captured since. [More]

And what did the "Only Ones" get in return?

Or did they do it just because they're such nice guys?

We're the Only Ones Honoring Customs Enough

Authorities say a former high-ranking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who was stationed in Mexico before retiring in 2007 has been arrested on suspicion of cocaine smuggling. [More]

Gee. How surprising to find corruption there.

Especially among the "Only Ones."

We're the Only Ones Dousing the Flames Enough

A Queens cop who prosecutors say couldn't handle that his ex-wife was dating a firefighter was charged Friday with hiring a hit man to kill her. [More]

That would certainly cool things down. And the hits just keep on coming?

I'll cede at this point the guy may have been set up--matter of fact, if we're to afford him the same consideration as everyone else, we must presume his innocence until proven guilty. After all, the whole point of the "Only Ones" Files is we all have the same rights, no more, no less.

Mr. Big

put the gun away. I don't own a gun and I am big enough to handle anything that comes my way. [More]

Yes, he really said that.

'No Fly List' Will Ground Not Just Guns, But Freedom

We've talked about Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's "No Fly" bill before. I've also made it the subject of my October Guns Magazine "Rights Watch" column. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column is a shameless plug for my new magazine article.

Plus, get access to more great articles and features, find out how you can win a "sniper rifle," and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: September 6

The General has no doubt, but that every man who has a due sense of the importance of the cause he has undertaken to defend, and who has any regard to his own honor and the reputation of a soldier will, if called to action, behave like one contending for every thing valuable; But, if contrary to his expectation, there shall be found any officers, or soldiers, so far lost to all shame as basely to quit their post without orders, or shall skulk from danger, or offer to retreat before order is given for so doing, from proper authority, of a superior officer, they are to be instantly shot down, as a just punishment to themselves, and for examples to others. This order, those in the rear, and the Corps of reserve, are to see duly executed, to prevent the cowardly from making a sacrifice of the brave, and by their ill example and groundless tales (calculated to cover their own shameful conduct) spreading terror as they go.
